Whilst many in Wales marked Imbolc and Saint Brigid’s day yesterday, an overlooked Welsh festival, Gŵyl Fair y Canhwyllau takes place today which marks the coming of spring wp.me/p8Mk4U-UJO

My first garden photos this year are a surprise. The stunning hellebore, full of buds, has bloomed continually since before last December. Wallflowers were showing a tiny bit of colour all winter. Just waiting for the bulbs now, they're lagging behind!

From 1-7 May, we will be showcasing the activities of our community and the many different ways that urban sketching brings people together & changes lives around the world.

Anyone can take part in International Urban Sketchers Week! #urbansketching

Fabulous (and slightly exhausting) day today at the Arts and Crafts Showcase for our Creative Group and Forest Sketchers. A great chance to share my passion for nature journaling with our visitors. Plus, I got to meet @ellabeard11.bsky.social which was such an unexpected pleasure!

Today is #Imbolc - the Gaelic festival celebrating the first signs of #spring 🌱✨

New life begins to emerge, early shoots push through the earth, and the promise of brighter days is in the air.

Take a moment to embrace the renewal, growth, and changing of the #seasons. 🤍

When we work with nature, wonderful things can happen in gardens, allotments & other green spaces. Bumblebees, butterflies, ladybirds, dandelions, earthworms… these are just a few plants & animals that are very useful to have around. Here’s why, & how to get them onto your patch:

Finally got here, after a long break from social media. I've found a few of my favourite accounts but would love to connect with more kindred spirits, so any suggestions for nature, wildlife, art, folklore, etc, connections greatly appreciated!
